    Gather ye radios while ye may

    Yeah same menu as ss6900N and at-5555, so just press hold function to access menu for Mic gain and such. Just repackaged for different look. its not much bigger then a AT-6666 in the front face. Just the mic is way too small.

    Gather ye radios while ye may

    I received today an Alinco DX-10, Just tested quick and seems cool so far, Things I don't like are the mic, very dinky like the SS6900N mic and the knobs are tricky if you have big fingers.

    DX-5000

    Looks like the SS 6900 V7 is very similar to the 5000.....wish they would do a redesign, as this style is getting long in the tooth!

    My Wife makes all our pasta (Wife is old school Italian) add about 2 years worth of homeade tomato sauce, eggplant in oil and lots of pickles and homemade bread, we are good to go. Shelves at local Wallyworld have been empty a few times.

    Line conditioner or surge protection strip

    Some will say Yay and other will say Nay! I dont have any experience with the Tripplite, but why not have clean AC going into your equipment, I run a Furutech e-TP60 conditioner and am very pleased with it.

    How far from desk mic?

    That would be depending on what you have the mic gain settings set on radio and Turner setting, I am one of the odd ducks that hold my Turner +3 in my hands while sitting comfy in my chair for my settings I am maybe 5-6" away from mic if that really means anything? good luck they are great mics.
